DEATH BATTLE! Discussion Thread (All-time Death Battle Spoilers Alert)

That is so f***ing Nintendo. I doubt something this deranged goes through, but if it does what? Goodbye Personas, goodbye Stands, goodby Summons, goodbye Partner Digimons and so on? Hell, maybe even goodbye sending troops into battle in a war simulation game?
I've been doing research on the patent, which you can actually look up on the internet, and from what I understand: Nintendo's patent seems to specifically be focusing on summoning mechanics like Pokeballs from Pokemon and not a general patent of summoning others to fight if that makes sense. It's still ******, and pretty much a blatant attack on games like Palworld, but I'm pretty confident games like Digimon and Persona don't violate that patent since their mechanics are separate from Pokemon.

Because as we know Corporations would never use underhanded methods or legal loopholes to take down their competitors.

It's not, because Palworld literally removed that aspect of summoning from the game entirely
 
The two problematic patents are:

*Short duration battles using a summon to fight for you
*Mounting and dismounting a terrestrial or aerial creature to ride as a mount

Both of these things are targeted towards palworld but they're so broad in their definition that any game that has a summon or mount would fall under this patent, including games that existed years before pokemon

But that was in response to the lawsuit from Nintendo, if I'm not mistaken. And my assumption is that Nintendo filed that patient to ensure that nothing like Palworld can come up again in the future (which I'm not defending whatsoever, by the way. I'm merely explaining why I think they did it in the first place).

Ain't that truth, huh? Corporate sabotage is all kinds of ******. But I'm just saying that the patent Nintendo was granted is very specific in its wording and pretty much refers to summoning mechanics akin to Pokemon and not the mechanic as a whole. And as I said: I don't support nor do I defend shit like this, but I also don't want to succumb to sensationalism when there's nuance to it.
 
Nintendo instead of making good Pokémon games decide to just file for patents and sue because they’re so ******* incompetent for some reason when it comes to Pokemon games.
I mean technically they just have the rights to exclusively publish the games while Gamefreak's the one whipping their underpaid employees to shit games out every 2 months.

Yeah Nintendos patents are so stupid. Patents in general are so dumb whether it's video games, movies, or even ******* medicine (I seriously can't believe it's legal for medical stuff specifically, like how????), trying to make ideas exclusive is so insane.

Yeah but that's not the patent people are currently freaking out over. The current one effectively bans the use of summoning in any game that isnt nintendo, a mechanic that has been a thing since almost the beginning of games. Soulsborne, final fantasy, elder scrolls, smt/persona, basically any rpg. People are lowkey hoping that this causes Disney to go after Nintendo because it would drastically affect Kingdom Hearts.

Gonna take a wild guess that it's one of the 'debunk posts' from someone I've blocked, all of which I've debunked myself in turn

What is this? I can't see it
Is a meme.
Is basically Maka talking to Ruby about how much she respect her because of her show controversy.

Maka:YOU KNOW, I ACTUALLY RESPECT YOU QUITE A BIT
Ruby: Wow Really?
YEAH, AFTER ALL YOUR SHOWS BEEN THROUGH I'M IMPRESSED YOU ARE STILL HERE

Maka:YOUR SHOW WAS MADE WITH A 3 DOLLAR BUDGET AND DREAMS, YOUR CREATOR DIED MID PRODUCTION OF SEASON 3-

Maka:YOUR SHOW HAD ONE OF THE MOST CONTROVERSIAL DEATH BATTLES BECAUSE OF HOW BAD THE SCALING WAS, GOT BOUGHT BY WARNER BROS,. HAD TO BE IN THE SAME SHOW AS THE FAUNUS PLOTLINE, HAD HALF OF YOUR BUDGET STOLEN BY A FORMER CAST MEMBER-
Ruby: well i
Maka:YOU HAD SEVERAL ALLEGATIONS OF WORK PLACE HARASSMENT AGAINST YOUR PARENT COMPANY, LOTS OF GRUNCH (SOME EMPLOYEES DIDN'T GET PAID UNTIL SEVERAL WEEKS LATER AND HAD TO SLEEP IN THE OFFICES TO FINISH THE SHOW, FIRED THE FIRST VOICE ACTOR FOR YOUR UNCLE QROW BECAUSE OF SAID HARASSMENT.
Ruby: Maka I get it-
Maka:YOU HAD GIGANTIC CONTROVERSIES IN THE FANDOM BECAUSE OF VOLUME 8, WITH SAID FANDOM BEING ALREADY SPLIT AFTER VOLUME 3 USING YOUR LATE-CREATORS NAME TO INSULT FANS OR CRITICS, WITH A YOUTUBER WITH 1.84 FOLLOWERS MAKING A HARSH CRITIQUE OF YOUR SHOW'S EARLY SEASONS WHICH MADE PEOPLE RETHINK OF THE WRITING QUALITY SINCE YOUR UPBRINGING
Ruby:Maka...
Maka:YOUR HISTORY WITH CROSSOVERS, WITH MOST OF THE RWBY CHARACTERS PLANNED FOR BLAZBLUE (CINDER, ROMAN, INPR, ADAM, ETC) GOING SEEMINGLY UNUSED OR JUST BEING USED AS PLACEHOLDERS, LOSING YOUR CHANGE TO BE ON MULTIVERSUS WHICH LATER CLOSED ITS SERVERS, AND THE DC CROSSOVERS BEING EITHER WILDLY DISLIKED OR ONLY LIKED BECAUSE OF A SHIP BETWEEN JAUNE AND JESSICA CRUZ
Ruby: Maka shut the **** up
Maka:AND THE CONTROVERSY'S AGAIN BECAUSE OF THE WRITHING CHOICES IN VOLUME 9 (SORRY ABOUT THAT BY THE WAY)
Ruby: ...
Maka:MEMBERS OF THE CAST ENCOURAGING YOUR FANS TO PIRATE VOLUME 9, NOT BEING ABLE TO EVEN ANIMATE A ENTIRE VOLUME (WITH THE ENDING GETTING SCRAPPED). YOUR PARENT COMPANY CLOSING UNCEREMONIOUSLY, WARNER'S HAVING YOU IN A FREEZER BEFORE SELLING YOU, AND NOW THE FACT YOU'RE GETTING STOMPED (PLUS I'VE HEARD RUMORS OF THE SHOW MADE BY GLITCH PRODUCTIONS AND DANA TERRANCE RELEASING TWO DAYS BEFORE OUR EPISODE COMES OUT ECLIPSING A BIT oF HE HYPE FOR OUR BATTLE)
Ruby: ...
Maka:I RESPECT YOU FOR ENDURING ALL THAT AND MORE, YOU'VE SURVIVED WHAT NO OTHER FRANCHISE COULD SURVIVE AND I RESPECT YOU FOR IT/

Furiously taps sign

 
Just spawn something on them.

Also SMT Humans are horseshit, it's not good luck they're gonna just ******* adapt lmfao
Meh.

I know they are op as ****, I still think Chaldea just barelly get a win tho.

The speed difference for PT side actually help just killing Ritsuka tbh.
 
I don't see how when none of them scale to the Root which is the kind of stuff you need to stack up against Joker.
Well.
Some of the characters can get to 1-A via using other arguments that are not about the Root (No, I not gonna explain) but even ignoring that, I just have Chaldea winning due to hax that PT can't counter (I also not gonna explain)
 
I think if we go with a Max Chaldea with every Servant available the sheer number of BS that could be brought to the table would make it debatable.
Gonna be blunt: There's like 3 servants max who even maybe can **** with the Root. It's a 3v10 or so, and those ten have an AP advantage and a half.
 
The two problematic patents are:

*Short duration battles using a summon to fight for you
So, JoJo's can't use Stands because apparently Pokemon invented that mechanic that JoJo's was using about a decade before Pokemon existed.
*Mounting and dismounting a terrestrial or aerial creature to ride as a mount
Are they going to sue everyone who has ever ridden a horse?
including games that existed years before pokemon
It's actually not legal to claim a patent on something you didn't invent.
